//! # nom, eating data byte by byte //! //! nom is a parser combinator library with a focus on safe parsing, //! streaming patterns, and as much as possible zero copy. //! //! ## Example //! //! ```rust //! extern crate nom; //! //! use nom::{ //! IResult, //! bytes::complete::{tag, take_while_m_n}, //! combinator::map_res, //! sequence::tuple}; //! //! #[derive(Debug,PartialEq)] //! pub struct Color { //! pub red: u8, //! pub green: u8, //! pub blue: u8, //! } //! //! fn from_hex(input: &str) -> Result<u8, std::num::ParseIntError> { //! u8::from_str_radix(input, 16) //! } //! //! fn is_hex_digit(c: char) -> bool { //! c.is_digit(16) //! } //! //! fn hex_primary(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, u8> { //! map_res( //! take_while_m_n(2, 2, is_hex_digit), //! from_hex //! )(input) //! } //! //! fn hex_color(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, Color> { //! let (input, _) = tag("#")(input)?; //! let (input, (red, green, blue)) = tuple((hex_primary, hex_primary, hex_primary))(input)?; //! //! Ok((input, Color { red, green, blue })) //! } //! //! fn main() { //! assert_eq!(hex_color("#2F14DF"), Ok(("", Color { //! red: 47, //! green: 20, //! blue: 223, //! }))); //! } //! ``` //! //! The code is available on [Github](https://github.com/Geal/nom) //! //! There are a few [guides](https://github.com/Geal/nom/tree/master/doc) with more details //! about [the design of nom macros](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/how_nom_macros_work.md), //! [how to write parsers](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/making_a_new_parser_from_scratch.md), //! or the [error management system](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/error_management.md). //! //! **Looking for a specific combinator? Read the //! ["choose a combinator" guide](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/choosing_a_combinator.md)** //! //! If you are upgrading to nom 5.0, please read the //! [migration document](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/upgrading_to_nom_5.md). //! //! See also the [FAQ](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md). //! //! ## Parser combinators //! //! Parser combinators are an approach to parsers that is very different from //! software like [lex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_(software)) and //! [yacc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc). Instead of writing the grammar //! in a separate syntax and generating the corresponding code, you use very small //! functions with a very specific purpose, like "take 5 bytes", or "recognize the //! word 'HTTP'", and assemble then in meaningful patterns like "recognize //! 'HTTP', then a space, then a version". //! The resulting code is small, and looks like the grammar you would have //! written with other parser approaches. //! //! This gives us a few advantages: //! //! - the parsers are small and easy to write //! - the parsers components are easy to reuse (if they're general enough, please add them to nom!) //! - the parsers components are easy to test separately (unit tests and property-based tests) //! - the parser combination code looks close to the grammar you would have written //! - you can build partial parsers, specific to the data you need at the moment, and ignore the rest //! //! Here is an example of one such parser, to recognize text between parentheses: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{ //! IResult, //! sequence::delimited, //! // see the "streaming/complete" paragraph lower for an explanation of these submodules //! character::complete::char, //! bytes::complete::is_not //! }; //! //! fn parens(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, &str> { //! delimited(char('('), is_not(")"), char(')'))(input) //! } //! ``` //! //! It defines a function named `parens` which will recognize a sequence of the //! character `(`, the longest byte array not containing `)`, then the character //! `)`, and will return the byte array in the middle. //! //! Here is another parser, written without using nom's combinators this time: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! use nom::{IResult, Err, Needed}; //! //! # fn main() { //! fn take4(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]>{ //! if i.len() < 4 { //! Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(4))) //! } else { //! Ok((&i[4..], &i[0..4])) //! } //! } //! # } //! ``` //! //! This function takes a byte array as input, and tries to consume 4 bytes. //! Writing all the parsers manually, like this, is dangerous, despite Rust's //! safety features. There are still a lot of mistakes one can make. That's why //! nom provides a list of function and macros to help in developing parsers. //! //! With functions, you would write it like this: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{IResult, bytes::streaming::take}; //! fn take4(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, &str> { //! take(4u8)(input) //! } //! ``` //! //! With macros, you would write it like this: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! # fn main() { //! named!(take4, take!(4)); //! # } //! ``` //! //! nom has used macros for combinators from versions 1 to 4, and from version //! 5, it proposes new combinators as functions, but still allows the macros style //! (macros have been rewritten to use the functions under the hood). //! For new parsers, we recommend using the functions instead of macros, since //! rustc messages will be much easier to understand. //! //! //! A parser in nom is a function which, for an input type `I`, an output type `O` //! and an optional error type `E`, will have the following signature: //! //! ```rust,ignore //! fn parser(input: I) -> IResult<I, O, E>; //! ``` //! //! Or like this, if you don't want to specify a custom error type (it will be `u32` by default): //! //! ```rust,ignore //! fn parser(input: I) -> IResult<I, O>; //! ``` //! //! `IResult` is an alias for the `Result` type: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{Needed, error::ErrorKind}; //! //! type IResult<I, O, E = (I,ErrorKind)> = Result<(I, O), Err<E>>; //! //! enum Err<E> { //! Incomplete(Needed), //! Error(E), //! Failure(E), //! } //! ``` //! //! It can have the following values: //! //! - a correct result `Ok((I,O))` with the first element being the remaining of the input (not parsed yet), and the second the output value; //! - an error `Err(Err::Error(c))` with `c` an error that can be built from the input position and a parser specific error //! - an error `Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed))` indicating that more input is necessary. `Needed` can indicate how much data is needed //! - an error `Err(Err::Failure(c))`. It works like the `Error` case, except it indicates an unrecoverable error: we cannot backtrack and test another parser //! //! Please refer to the ["choose a combinator" guide](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/choosing_a_combinator.md) for an exhaustive list of parsers. //! See also the rest of the documentation [here](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc). //! . //! //! ## Making new parsers with function combinators //! //! nom is based on functions that generate parsers, with a signature like //! this: `(arguments) -> impl Fn(Input) -> IResult<Input, Output, Error>`. //! The arguments of a combinator can be direct values (like `take` which uses //! a number of bytes or character as argument) or even other parsers (like //! `delimited` which takes as argument 3 parsers, and returns the result of //! the second one if all are successful). //! //! Here are some examples: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::IResult; //! use nom::bytes::complete::{tag, take}; //! fn abcd_parser(i: &str) -> IResult<&str, &str> { //! tag("abcd")(i) // will consume bytes if the input begins with "abcd" //! } //! //! fn take_10(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]> { //! take(10u8)(i) // will consume and return 10 bytes of input //! } //! ``` //! //! ## Combining parsers //! //! There are higher level patterns, like the **`alt`** combinator, which //! provides a choice between multiple parsers. If one branch fails, it tries //! the next, and returns the result of the first parser that succeeds: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::IResult; //! use nom::branch::alt; //! use nom::bytes::complete::tag; //! //! let alt_tags = alt((tag("abcd"), tag("efgh"))); //! //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(&b"abcdxxx"[..]), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], &b"abcd"[..]))); //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(&b"efghxxx"[..]), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], &b"efgh"[..]))); //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(&b"ijklxxx"[..]), Err(nom::Err::Error((&b"ijklxxx"[..], nom::error::ErrorKind::Tag)))); //! ``` //! //! The **`opt`** combinator makes a parser optional. If the child parser returns //! an error, **`opt`** will still succeed and return None: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{IResult, combinator::opt, bytes::complete::tag}; //! fn abcd_opt(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], Option<&[u8]>> { //! opt(tag("abcd"))(i) //! } //! //! assert_eq!(abcd_opt(&b"abcdxxx"[..]), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], Some(&b"abcd"[..])))); //! assert_eq!(abcd_opt(&b"efghxxx"[..]), Ok((&b"efghxxx"[..], None))); //! ``` //! //! **`many0`** applies a parser 0 or more times, and returns a vector of the aggregated results: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] //! # fn main() { //! use nom::{IResult, multi::many0, bytes::complete::tag}; //! use std::str; //! //! fn multi(i: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> { //! many0(tag("abcd"))(i) //! } //! //! let a = "abcdef"; //! let b = "abcdabcdef"; //! let c = "azerty"; //! assert_eq!(multi(a), Ok(("ef", vec!["abcd"]))); //! assert_eq!(multi(b), Ok(("ef", vec!["abcd", "abcd"]))); //! assert_eq!(multi(c), Ok(("azerty", Vec::new()))); //! # } //! # #[cfg(not(feature = "alloc"))] //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! Here are some basic combining macros available: //! //! - **`opt`**: will make the parser optional (if it returns the `O` type, the new parser returns `Option<O>`) //! - **`many0`**: will apply the parser 0 or more times (if it returns the `O` type, the new parser returns `Vec<O>`) //! - **`many1`**: will apply the parser 1 or more times //! //! There are more complex (and more useful) parsers like `tuple!`, which is //! used to apply a series of parsers then assemble their results. //! //! Example with `tuple`: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! use nom::{error::ErrorKind, Needed, //! number::streaming::be_u16, //! bytes::streaming::{tag, take}, //! sequence::tuple}; //! //! let tpl = tuple((be_u16, take(3u8), tag("fg"))); //! //! assert_eq!( //! tpl(&b"abcdefgh"[..]), //! Ok(( //! &b"h"[..], //! (0x6162u16, &b"cde"[..], &b"fg"[..]) //! )) //! ); //! assert_eq!(tpl(&b"abcde"[..]), Err(nom::Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(2)))); //! let input = &b"abcdejk"[..]; //! assert_eq!(tpl(input), Err(nom::Err::Error((&input[5..], ErrorKind::Tag)))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! But you can also use a sequence of combinators written in imperative style, //! thanks to the `?` operator: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! use nom::{IResult, bytes::complete::tag}; //! //! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)] //! struct A { //! a: u8, //! b: u8 //! } //! //! fn ret_int1(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], u8> { Ok((i,1)) } //! fn ret_int2(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], u8> { Ok((i,2)) } //! //! fn f(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], A> { //! // if successful, the parser returns `Ok((remaining_input, output_value))` that we can destructure //! let (i, _) = tag("abcd")(i)?; //! let (i, a) = ret_int1(i)?; //! let (i, _) = tag("efgh")(i)?; //! let (i, b) = ret_int2(i)?; //! //! Ok((i, A { a, b })) //! } //! //! let r = f(b"abcdefghX"); //! assert_eq!(r, Ok((&b"X"[..], A{a: 1, b: 2}))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! ## Streaming / Complete //! //! Some of nom's modules have `streaming` or `complete` submodules. They hold //! different variants of the same combinators. //! //! A streaming parser assumes that we might not have all of the input data. //! This can happen with some network protocol or large file parsers, where the //! input buffer can be full and need to be resized or refilled. //! //! A complete parser assumes that we already have all of the input data. //! This will be the common case with small files that can be read entirely to //! memory. //! //! Here is how it works in practice: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{IResult, Err, Needed, error::ErrorKind, bytes, character}; //! //! fn take_streaming(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]> { //! bytes::streaming::take(4u8)(i) //! } //! //! fn take_complete(i: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]> { //! bytes::complete::take(4u8)(i) //! } //! //! // both parsers will take 4 bytes as expected //! assert_eq!(take_streaming(&b"abcde"[..]), Ok((&b"e"[..], &b"abcd"[..]))); //! assert_eq!(take_complete(&b"abcde"[..]), Ok((&b"e"[..], &b"abcd"[..]))); //! //! // if the input is smaller than 4 bytes, the streaming parser //! // will return `Incomplete` to indicate that we need more data //! assert_eq!(take_streaming(&b"abc"[..]), Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(4)))); //! //! // but the complete parser will return an error //! assert_eq!(take_complete(&b"abc"[..]), Err(Err::Error((&b"abc"[..], ErrorKind::Eof)))); //! //! // the alpha0 function recognizes 0 or more alphabetic characters //! fn alpha0_streaming(i: &str) -> IResult<&str, &str> { //! character::streaming::alpha0(i) //! } //! //! fn alpha0_complete(i: &str) -> IResult<&str, &str> { //! character::complete::alpha0(i) //! } //! //! // if there's a clear limit to the recognized characters, both parsers work the same way //! assert_eq!(alpha0_streaming("abcd;"), Ok((";", "abcd"))); //! assert_eq!(alpha0_complete("abcd;"), Ok((";", "abcd"))); //! //! // but when there's no limit, the streaming version returns `Incomplete`, because it cannot //! // know if more input data should be recognized. The whole input could be "abcd;", or //! // "abcde;" //! assert_eq!(alpha0_streaming("abcd"), Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(1)))); //! //! // while the complete version knows that all of the data is there //! assert_eq!(alpha0_complete("abcd"), Ok(("", "abcd"))); //! ``` //! **Going further:** read the [guides](https://github.com/Geal/nom/tree/master/doc)! #![cfg_attr(all(not(feature = "std"), feature = "alloc"), feature(alloc))] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)] #![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(doc_markdown))] #![cfg_attr(nightly, feature(test))] #![deny(missing_docs)] #![warn(missing_doc_code_examples)] #[cfg(all(not(feature = "std"), feature = "alloc"))] #[macro_use] extern crate alloc; #[cfg(feature = "regexp_macros")] #[macro_use] extern crate lazy_static; extern crate memchr; #[cfg(feature = "regexp")] pub extern crate regex; #[cfg(feature = "lexical")] extern crate lexical_core; #[cfg(nightly)] extern crate test; #[cfg(test)] extern crate doc_comment; //FIXME: reactivate doctest once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62210 is done //#[cfg(doctest)] //doc_comment::doctest!("../README.md"); /// Lib module to re-export everything needed from `std` or `core`/`alloc`.
